Currently, Sarah stars in and executive produces the Hallmark+ series Mistletoe Murders, where she portrays Emily Lane. This project offers a fresh take on the classic holiday genre and adds a sophisticated twist to the traditional format.
In addition to her work on Mistletoe Murders, Sarah has appeared in a number of other TV shows, including Freeform's Cruel Summer and Apple TV+'s critically acclaimed series Amber Brown. She has also made her writing debut with Reindeer Games Homecoming, a holiday feature for Lifetime that she both produced and starred in.

The performance received rave reviews and opened doors for her career, leading to her Broadway debut in Vincent in Brixton at the Lincoln Center Theater, followed by a successful run in London's West End.
When she's not working, Sarah is actively involved in charitable work, supporting organizations such as Door of Hope in Pasadena and Lwala Community Alliance, which focuses on improving healthcare in Africa.
